Thermal relationships: +- show thermal zone information +- show cooling device information +- show trip point binding within each thermal zone +- show trip point and cooling device instance bindings +.PP +2. Real time data display +- show temperature of all thermal zones w.r.t. its trip points and types +- show states of all cooling devices +.PP +3. Thermal relationship learning and device tuning +- with a built-in Proportional Integral Derivative (\fBPID\fP) +controller, user can pair a cooling device to a thermal sensor for +testing the effectiveness and learn about the thermal distance between the two +- allow manual control of cooling device states and target temperature +.PP +4. Data logging in /var/tmp/tmon.log +- contains thermal configuration data, i.e. cooling device, thermal + zones, and trip points. Can be used for data collection in remote + debugging. +- log real-time thermal data into space separated format that can be + directly consumed by plotting tools such as Rscript. + +.SS Options +.PP +The \fB-c --control\fP option sets a cooling device type to control temperature +of a thermal zone +.PP +The \fB-d --daemon\fP option runs \fBtmon \fP as daemon without user interface +.PP +The \fB-g --debug\fP option allow debug messages to be stored in syslog +.PP +The \fB-h --help\fP option shows help message +.PP +The \fB-l --log\fP option write data to /var/tmp/tmon.log +.PP +The \fB-t --time-interval\fP option sets the polling interval in seconds +.PP +The \fB-v --version\fP option shows the version of \fBtmon \fP +.PP +The \fB-z --zone\fP option sets the target therma zone instance to be controlled +.PP + +.SH FIELD DESCRIPTIONS +.nf +.PP +\fBP \fP passive cooling trip point type +\fBA \fP active cooling trip point type (fan) +\fBC \fP critical trip point type +\fBA \fP hot trip point type +\fBkp \fP proportional gain of \fBPID\fP controller +\fBki \fP integral gain of \fBPID\fP controller +\fBkd \fP derivative gain of \fBPID\fP controller + +.SH REQUIREMENT +Build depends on ncurses +.PP +Runtime depends on window size large enough to show the number of +devices found on the system. + +.PP + +.SH INTERACTIVE COMMANDS +.pp +.nf +\fBCtrl-C, q/Q\fP stops \fBtmon\fP +\fBTAB\fP shows tuning pop up panel, choose a letter to modify + +.SH EXAMPLES +Without any parameters, tmon is in monitoring only mode and refresh +screen every 1 second. +.PP +1.
